As soon as Ellen saw me, she jumped in front of me like a little rabbit. “Sabrina, it’s my fault that I lost my key because I was too confused. Fred said he was afraid that it would be picked up by bad guys, so he changed the lock. Sabrina, you don’t have the key to the new lock yet, I’ll give you one later.”
What came into view was Ellen wearing a loose black shirt and Fred wearing only a bathrobe.
The two of them were covered in mist and looked extremely ambiguous.
After I responded lightly, I carried my luggage into the house.
Seeing that I didn’t make a fuss, Fred threw down the towel he was using to wipe his hair and explained, “Ellen’s water pipe burst and she stayed at our house for a few days. Don’t misunderstand.”
If I had seen this scene in the past, I would have felt uncomfortable.
But now I just felt very tired.
The wound on my back had not healed yet and I felt a slight tight pain.
Seeing Fred’s face, all that came to my mind was the day when he was busy looking for Ellen and completely ignored me, who was dragged behind him and bleeding.
At that moment, my love for him had completely dissipated with my sinking consciousness.
“I didn’t misunderstand.”
